Agnes, if it's okay with you, I'll talk to cods as she is making at least some sense.

His submarines can't do anything missile like.  They are torpedo shooting rusted relics.  He has fired off some rocket crackers which have landed (by deliberate intent) in the sea off the Coast of Japan.

He has weapons of all kinds.  He is allowed to just like we are.

Correct.  All we have is a USA Fleet of naval warships including an aircraft carrier within striking distance of North Korea, but, you are quite right...no-one is invading him.

Quote:


Really.  Can you tell me what Countrys Indian and Pakistan have signed a pact with?

Quote:


Correct and we have to just suck it up unless we intend to invade North Korea pre-emptively and/or initiate other military action against him....and if we do.....don't bitch when he fights back with everything he's got, including allies.

That term is very loose, so I'll answer it loosely.  He isn't.

North Korea routinely invades other countries and kidnaps their citizens. Recently they assassinated their leaders brother in Malaysia.

i agree

Well Kim Jong's first attempt to fire a missile has proved a fizzer

The missile a bit like Jong Yoong's appendage has failed to function

Round 1 to the U.S.

I seriously doubt it was a misfire as much as the US Navy jammed it.

Round 1 to your continued stupidity

Yes, we have a maniacal dictator displaying sociopathic tendencies, whilst sporting one of the most ridiculous haircuts you're ever likely to see, being reckless with nuclear arms and threatening sovereign nations with pre-emptive strikes.

Then, of course, we have Kim Jong-un to worry about as well.

So do I.

North Korea and their protection by China is a problem.  But dealing with that problem in a way that South Korea becomes colateral damage is just stupid.

This is the path Trump is heading down.

He thinks a show of force will intimidate NK?  It's what their leadership want.  An excuse to "defend" themselves.

International Diplomacy was always going to be another in a long list of weaknesses in this administration, but he's skipped that part and gone to the last resort option, first.

It's not smart, it's not strong and it's not brave.  He's standing up to nobody, he's just causing conflict to get more support at home.

If it has a good outcome at the end of the day then I'll give credit where it's due, but he's treading world leaders and their armed forces like he would some suit in a business transactions.  A puffy chested show of force which is nothing but a bluff from a position of power.

And the NK leadership are equally as deluded as Trump and out of any engagement he has going, they're deranged enough to call his bluff.  Then he'll be committed and will double down, because you know, he can't show weakness and then it's on.

His "strategy" is as transparent as glass, and certainly he but it seems also those advising him aren't smart enough to deal with the likely results of his actions.

Or......nothing happened at all, and this was just another alternative fact.
